TIP: The clean IPA that becomes saturated according to the number of builds in the chart above should
then be used for the rst ("dirty") IPA bath until the max number of builds has been reached again.
WARNING: ETHANOL AND IPA ARE FLAMMABLE AS BOTH LIQUID AND VAPOR. IPA FLASH POINT IS
11.7°C (53.1°F). ETHANOL FLASH POINT IS 16.6°C (61.9 °F). KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, SPARK AND OPEN
FLAMES. USE WITH ADEQUATE VENTILATION. STORE AT 20-30ºC (68-86°F).
Clean Parts Manually
NOTE: Some materials require that you use an ultrasonic cleaner, rather than manual cleaning methods, to
clean printed parts. Please read your material's Instructions for Use to determine if manual cleaning is
su cient.
The following instructions are recommendations for hand-cleaning parts made with FabPro™ materials. For
instructions for NextDent materials, please see your material's Instructions for Use.
1. Mark plastic containers as "Container 1" and "Container 2."
2. Place printed part into Container 1.
3. Add Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to Container 1 until it completely submerges the printed part(s). Fasten the lid onto the
container.
NOTE: You may use "dirty" solvent for this rst part bath. Solvent is considered "dirty" when it has reached
the maximum number of prints speci ed for your material in the
solvent for an additional number of prints equal to the "maximum number" speci ed in cleaning chart. For
example, you may use "dirty" IPA or EZ rinse C to clean 10-12 parts, for a total of 20-24 parts cleaned. Once
you have reached this maximum again, you must discard the solvent/material mixture according to all
local, state, and federal regulations.
4. Lightly shake the container back and forth, just enough to agitate the liquid. Follow the instructions in the
Chart
for how much time is required for this rst bath.
5. Remove part(s) from Container 1 and allow excess IPA to drip from the part(s) for 30 seconds. You may wish to use
shop air or an air compressor to dry the part in between cleanings, as this is an effective method for getting one
solvent off the part before dipping it into another. You may also need to use the included
in solvent, to clean part surfaces and ne features.
. Place printed part(s) into Container 2.
7. Follow steps 3-5, but this time using
required for this second bath.
NOTE: You must use "clean" IPA for the second part bath. Solvent is considered "clean" if it has been used
to clean less than the maximum number of prints speci ed for your material in the
with dirty solvent in this step risks not completely cleaning the part of uncured liquid material.
TIP: Once you have used the "clean" IPA to wash the maximum-allowed parts, you may then use it for the
rst, "dirty" part bath (see Step 3).
